Chicken for me is a post weight loss surgery go-to. A quick and easy way to get a lot of protein in. I love chicken salads and I'm always trying to change things up a bit to make them new and exciting.
This chicken salad variation was super yummy. I served it on a bed of mixed greens. It would also be great in a low carb tortilla wrap or just on it's own. The pimento dressing makes a great veggie dip too. Pimentos are a sweet pepper you know those little red things that are in the center of Spanish green olives. You find them in 2 oz & 4 oz. jars in the olive section.
